Drug Clock: Money Spent on the War on Drugs 2008
The DrugSense Drug War Clock is soon to be moved to our coming new section: The Failed War on Drugs.
The Drug Clock has been up at the original DBKP site at Blogger, almost from the very first day we started.
Before we moved it–at an undetermined future date–we decided to feature the popular Drug War Clock in a post. The clock keeps track of the approximately $600 per second spending racked up on the War on Drugs.
Money Spent on the War on Drugs This Year.
Just like burning money.

it is crazy that we are spending billions of dollars a year on something that never worked and never will work. in the past twenty years the amount of people in jail for drug use has increased by 120% we need to fix the ten trillion dollar debt we are in, drugs are going to be in the united states no matter what the most we can do is urge people not to do drugs not lock them up for doing them so they never recover.

[...] a look at the Drug War Clock … 6 Billion Dollars PLUS has already been spent on the war on drugs this year. The question [...]
If they would just legalize marijuana and put a tax on it while having the F.D.A controlling the distribution of it our economy would be much better off.

that is sad and stupped were only spending a few billion on cancer research that kils about 1,500 people a day and marijuana in studies has proven to prevent and cure cancer but when they found that out there funding was pulled they were harassed and forced to move to Canada but we will spend billions to incarcerate and spread propaganda about this very important and powerful drug for humans and animals because those in power believe in a religion based on tourcher and that we are a product of sin so there out to destroy life not live and love it. Its a discrase if you ask me and we need to stand up and free people of the future from these hatefull people if they dont want to do it they dont have to do it but to control other peoples lives like that is there addiction they live to hurt drug users its sad very sad.
